I don't think it sounds girly at all, Elanhil. Even if you did accuse me of thinking you were a girl once. ;) (I didn't, honest!)

This was a very smart idea, Elanor. :D

I don't think anyone has trouble pronouncing mine, but Airianna is Air-e-onnah, and Valenshia is Vah-len-shee-ah.

ARY (A as in Apple) - ARNA - VALLEN - SHIA :D

@Caleb- I say either Ela[h]n-hill or E-lawn-hill. A very slight difference.

@Airi- I say Airy-AHNA Va-len-SHEE-a.

Maybe no one has trouble with mine, since I spelled it more or less phonetically: Tsah-raf. Maybe some one would think it is pronounced Tsah-hraf. I usually accent the first syllable, an accidental habit.

I do not think Elanhil is girlie, I thought it was a majestic name when first I saw it.

I pronounced Vilisse Vih-lih-seh, Aeleknight Ay-leh-knight (what does Aeleknight mean?), Zoriah Zor-ee-uh (but I like Zor-ai-uh better), I always pronounced Suiauthon Suee-ow-thon (and I like that name), and I pronounce Sir Emeth Mimetes Cor-rec-tly (how could I not? I spelled Emeth in Hebrew for him).

I like the name Kelcin too.

SEF-ron. e as in elephant, o as in otter--at least with my accent. In greek, it would be an omicron, if that helps anyone.

Woot, I've been saying Suiauthon's correctly! Must be that, ever since I learned how terribly I was pronouncing "Sauron", I burned it into my head that au = ow. Sometimes it spills over into places it shouldn't, though. Unless I watch myself, I'll pronounce "braun" identically to "brown".

Hm, I've been messing up Airianna's though. Didn't have the "ah-na" right.

Mine is odd i suppose... XD I have no idea how you guys pronounce it! XD
Viarri - Vee-ah-ree.
But if you want to say the full name (Viarri is short for Viarrieinmr) Vee-ah-ree-eyn-mer. :dieshappy: :rofl:

Ah, ok Fearme, trust me to get it backwards...

P.S. I was totally pronouncing your username wrong until I saw your explanation!

Woot, I've been saying Suiauthon's correctly! Must be that, ever since I learned how terribly I was pronouncing "Sauron", I burned it into my head that au = ow. Sometimes it spills over into places it shouldn't, though. Unless I watch myself, I'll pronounce "braun" identically to "brown".

Mwahaha. I was pronouncing yours right. :twisted:

:rofl: You even did better than me. ;)

I'll probably forget most of the ones I've been getting wrong and continue saying them incorrectly... :P

Leandra's pronounced lee-ANN-druh.

My old username---Aemi---is pronounced just like the name "Amy".

"Shinja" rhymes with "Ninja". ;)

And---from the king himself---"Mimetes" is pronounced "mim-AY-tase".

My name is pronounced knee-Moe (as in Moe's), (I'm not sure if this is the real pronunciation, but it's how I pronounce it) teh-feel-ahh. And then Mimetes as Aemi already said. :D

I agree! I'm loving all these new and different usernames. :D They have such beautiful meanings as well.

Mom assures me my new one is just as unpronounceable and unspellable as my old one.

Just to set the record straight, it's el-oo-THEIR-ee-uh. ;)

Here's mine (trusting everybody knows how to pronounce lady ;)):
Aris is pronounced Air-iss. Lillylight sounds how it looks. Lily then light (although lily looks better with two L's).

*Should read the entire thread over sometime* Most likely I'm mispronouncing someone's name. :roll:

@Tsahraf:

Is the "ch" in Chahsid pronounced like a hard 'c', like in "candy",
or the german "ch" in "Bach"?

@Vivace:

I'm a little confused about the 'e' in your pronunciation...should it be pronounced "e" like in "elephant", "ay" like in "crayon", or "ee" like in "keel"?
(I've been saying it like "ee", so far)
